I have a cooler incubator, I have had great success with it. It is better than my Little Giant incubator. I don't even use the Little Giant incubator anymore. 

 

By the way, for just about 9 dollars extra, at your local hardware store, you can get a water heater thermostat. (That's the thermostat I use in my Cooler incubator). If you look at my profile, you can find my page that says  Chick factory incubator. It shows how I built my cooler incubator, and what all I needed for it.

In the beginning there was nothing. God said, Let there be light! And there was light. There was still nothing, but you could see it a whole lot better. Ellen DeGeneres   
also//////// Y'all also need to check out my homemade cooler incubator, my homemade fridge-a-bator, and my cabinet incubator on my BYC page.
